An Azteca ant inside her brood nest in a hollow Cecropia tree stem.
What she is holding is not an egg or a larva (those are the lumpy things with the interior dark patch) but a food body produced by the tree specifically to feed the ants, as they protect the tree from caterpillars. Colombia.

Meet the cecropia moth (Hyalophora cecropia)! One of North America’s largest moths, this critter’s wingspan can reach an impressive 7 in (17.8 cm). Once mature, this species does not eat: Instead, it spends its time searching for a mate. Females emit pheromones to attract males, and male moths can detect this scent from more than 1 mi (1.6 km) away.

The Moth Progresses
I posted last week about finding a caterpillar of the largest moth in north America (5-7in wingspan) ... now it has progressed from 2nd to 3rd instar and all is well. Click the link for a photo and a link to the original post.

Cecropia ants (Azteca) guard their tree zealously against intruders. Working together, they surround and immobilize their opponents such as this trap-jaw ant by pinning down their appendages. Gamboa, Panama.
